Because Zion doesn’t have more skills, BI is the one that needs to change his game the most to fit


This is the part I take issue with. BI fits the modern game just fine. Zion is just an oddly shaped piece that makes it harder to find things to fit around him. Zion is the one who causes fit problems across the roster.

But his talent, when he is on the court, can transcend that, so you need players who are willing to adapt to his game.

BI can't or won't

BI attracts double teams, Zion attracts 5 players to the paint. Again, this is not rocket science why you shape the team to fit Zion.

I still think they can work things out and have no desire to trade BI unless they are getting a similar caliber player back. Also, some of the BI fit issues are the fault of Zion not being in shape enough to run the offense to start the season, and coaching. Zion sitting in the corner is a terrible idea, he should be constantly moving and screening or cutting when he's off ball. People want a PG to get Zion easy baskets, like the 2 BI got him last game with those Magic Johnsonesque passes?

He doesn't fit with this team and what this team should be doing, no.

Trey fits like a glove with Zion.

And he's your best player, so the rest of the team needs to conform and be constructed around him. If dudes don't fit with Zion, the last thing you want to do is give those dudes max contracts.

Sure, but he's also better than BI. You can't build a team around a dude who is maxed out as the 30th best player in the league.

Zion still has top 10ish potential.
